Markus 8:26

8:26 Jesus ¹  sent him home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.” ² 

Markus 6:56

6:56 And wherever he would go – into villages, towns, or countryside – they would place the sick in the marketplaces, and would ask him if ³  they could just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

[8:26]  ¹ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:26]  ² tc Codex Bezae (D) replaces “Do not even go into the village” with “Go to your house, and do not tell anyone, not even in the village.” Other mss with some minor variations (Θ Ë¹³ 28 565 2542 pc) expand on this prohibition to read “Go to your house, and if you go into the village, do not tell anyone.” There are several other variants here as well. While these expansions are not part of Mark’s original text, they do accurately reflect the sense of Jesus’ prohibition.

[6:56]  ³ tn Grk “asked that they might touch.”
